    Anyone else tired of eurosport UK's insistence on employing people who can't speak English to interview people who can't speak English, in English?

    Its Eurosport. Its not English Sport!

    BritishEuroSport is localised with the two boys the feeds are all centralised.

    I am with you on this ...Juan Antonio is a lovely guy but I haven't a clue what he is on about most of the time...He also seems to change track in the middle of a sentence

    If he interviewed in Spanish and was translated it would be better. But Kirby is the usual translator and he misses most and makes stuff up when he is busy laughing or something

    Even harder for Americans. Although his Eurosport commentary is very popular over here. It takes people a couple of stages to develop an ear for his Carrick-on-Flanders accent.

    To add to what others have said, without those pesky foreigners we wouldn't have the Eurosport we have now.

    This is not a xenophobia issue about foreigners and not sure why anyone is making it so ?

    Its just if someone does not speak the language well is it not better that they speak their own language and are translated ...simples

    Sean Kelly is speaking his mother tongue afterall ...that issue for him is accent

    I wasn't implying it was. Just saying Eurosport has always been a very euro centric channel since its inception.

    I kinda like Eurosport's general crapness. It has hardly changed at all since the late 80's.

    Agreed. My girlfriend refuses to believe that their "WATTS" funny clips programme is not from 1992.

    I also kind of like that Eurosport is a tiny bit crappy and tinpot. I much prefer that to the Sky Sports style of programming. Only thing I don't really like about ES is that the scheduling can go very wrong on them, but not always their fault.

    I agree. I like Eurosport ..and I like ladies favourite Juan Antonio (he even has the right name) and men's favourite (Laura Messinger) ...just wish I understood what Juan was saying most of the time

    I also like Ashley (he on the otherhand is very precise with his every utterance :))

    *nasal monotone* Well, for you for sure, is berry success two-day

    Christ almighty, there's only so long you can listen to that. In fact did anyone hear the bit they did on disk brakes? Potentially very interesting, but I was honestly mouth agape looking at the tv trying to figure out what the fcuk they were talking about. :rolleyes: Sean Kelly is Shakespearean by comparison.

    Maybe it's because I communicate daily with people from all over the world on teleconferences etc and my ears have become accustomed to accents from every corner of the planet, and country, but it's not something I've ever thought of being an issue. That, and the fact that it's just what I expect from Eurosport since the late 80s, early 90s, whenever it started.
